When
you come to think of it, there is much that Yasser Arafat has in common
with Adolf Hitler. The German
dictator was determined to exterminate the Jews of Europe and he used his
Hitler Youth organization to indoctrinate German youth to hate and kill
Jews. So that when he overran
the countries of Europe, he had a ready army of killers willing and able
to carry out his plan.
And he
went so far as to devote an enormous amount of manpower, construction and
rail transport to carry out his plan, even though it meant depriving
German soldiers supplies needed at the front.
He managed to kill about six million Jews and in the process
brought total ruin to Germany. He
committed suicide in a bunker in Berlin as the Red Army closed in around
him. With his death, the
whole Nazi machine of terror came crashing down in ruins.
Yasser
Arafat has devoted his entire political career to one goal only: the
destruction of Israel. When
the Israelis foolishly brought him from Tunis, and installed him as leader
of the Palestine Authority, and armed his police force, it was tantamount
to bringing a deadly cobra into one’s home.
In
complete violation of the Oslo accords, Arafat proceeded to indoctrinate
Palestinian children to hate Israel and kill Jews.
He managed to conceal from the Israelis his ultimate aim to destroy
them. Even when he rejected
the incredibly generous offer made by Prime Minister Ehud Barak at Camp
David, Israelis still could not believe that the ultimate aim of the
Palestine Authority was the destruction of the Jewish state.
Hitler
had explained exactly what he intended to do in Mein Kampf.
And Arafat made it clear what his goal was in what he told
Palestinians in Arabic and the messages he conveyed to children in their
textbooks. If the Israelis
had read them, they would have realized that Arafat was training his own
version of Hitler Youth to kill them.
The
suicide bombers are Arafat’s Hitler Youth in action.
They have finally awakened the Israelis to their peril. And the Israelis are beginning to act. They must destroy the terrorist infrastructure which Arafat
and his Palestinian Nazis have created.
That will require removing the PA leaders, destroying their
buildings, and arresting all known and suspected terrorists. Israel cannot do less and survive the terrorist onslaught.
Like
Hitler, Arafat is now holed up in his own bunker, awaiting his fate.
The Israelis have said they don’t want to kill him.
Hitler committed suicide. But
suicide is not Arafat’s style. He
is bringing total ruin to the Palestinian entity, but that doesn’t seem
to bother him. He sent
children strapped with bombs to do his dirty work.
And they’ve done it.
These
gullible children were promised heaven, but they’ve gone to hell for
violating God’s Commandment: “Thou shalt not murder.”
Once the Israelis have completed the job of destroying the
terrorist infrastructure, they must find individuals willing to create a
new government that will accept a peace with Israel.
And if that is done, the Israelis must then insist that Arab
children be educated to love their neighbors and to shun terrorism.
Another
similarity between Arafat and Hitler is that both men needed war in order
to carry out their plans. Hitler
started World War II, during which he was able to exterminate Jews
throughout Europe, and Arafat needs a war against Israel by the other Arab
states in order to obliterate Israel.
He knows that the Palestinians cannot destroy Israel alone, and he
expected that an Israeli attack against him would provoke Arab nations to
retaliate. But, to date, that
strategy hasn’t worked.
Arafat
has always believed that he held the trump cards against Israel: the world
liberal media which is sympathetic to the plight of the Palestinians;
anti-Israel demonstrations in the world’s capitals; pressure from the
United Nations; and the threat of a wider war against Israel waged by a
united Arab front. But
because of September 11th, he can no longer count even on
Saddam Hussein coming to his rescue, because should Saddam lob a single
missile against Israel, that would give George Bush the green light he
needs to obliterate Saddam. Checkmate!
But
the latest news is that President Bush is trying to rescue Arafat from
oblivion. Why?
To appease the Arab states. And
so he has sent Secretary of State Colin Powell to try to get a cease fire.
But the Israelis are not interested in a cease fire as long as a
single terrorist is still free to carry out suicide bombings in Israel.
The
Israelis would love to send Arafat into exile. But he doesn't want to go.
So I suggest that the Israelis arrest him and put him on trial as a
terrorist. He is no less guilty than Osama bin Laden for having
slaughtered over 300 Israeli civilians in the last few months, among whom
were a dozen or so American citizens. Also, he is responsible for the
murder of U.S. Ambassador Cleo Noel, in 1973. Wouldn't it be an incredible
media event to try Arafat in an Israeli court? Can it happen? Do the
Israelis have the nerve to do it? We shall see.
